Good Monday Morning Readers,
Today I have the privilege to feature author, Clare Revell. My writing Ninja friend is back with her Passport to Romance release, "Vegas Vacation"
Welcome, Clare!
Clare lives in a small town in England with her husband,
whom she married in 1992, and her three children. Writing from an early childhood
and encouraged by her teachers, she graduated from rewriting fairy stories
through fanfiction to using her own original characters and enjoys writing an
eclectic mix of romance, crime fiction and children's stories. When she's not
writing, reading, or sewing, she's keeping house or doing the many piles of
laundry her children manage to make.
She has been a Christian for more than half her life. She
goes to Carey Baptist where she is one of three registrars.
She can be found at:
Former protective services officer, Sgt. Martin Ames, is
five weeks short of medical retirement from the Vegas PD when he lands one last
case: spoiled English heiress, Lady Tamlyn Bradshaw, whose bodyguard is
hospitalized with suspected food poisoning.
Tamlyn is on holiday, her first without her father and his
ever present bodyguards. She wants to have fun, not spend the time stuck in a
hotel room with a disabled cop, even if he is tall, dark and disturbingly
handsome.
When food poisoning becomes murder, passions and tempers
flare as Martin attempts to keep Tamlyn safe from the assailant who gains
everything on her death.
Excerpt:
"Martin, you're the only person in the department with
the security clearances and the experience to do this."
"I haven't worked protective services for over three
years and for good reason. I'm five weeks from early retirement, and I don't
want to spend them running around after a spoiled heiress."
"Did I ask what you wanted? This woman's father is
royalty and I just got off the phone with him."
Tamlyn cringed in her seat, her cheeks burning. This was a
bad idea. She'd go back to the hotel and trust God to protect her. No one knew
who she was; she was just one more tourist in a city of thousands.
The angry voice continued its tirade in the office. "Royalty?
In that case, I'm sure she can afford a replacement bodyguard. Even better—ask
the British Embassy to provide one. My days of babysitting people are
over."
"Unless you want to be fired five weeks before your
retirement date, your assignment for the next three weeks is to be Lady
Bradshaw's bodyguard. There's the door. She's by your desk waiting for
you."
The door flung open, and Tamlyn glanced down. She focused
her gaze on her fingernails. Maybe she could just pretend she hadn't heard.
Heavy steps crossed the room as muted conversations started
up again. They stopped by the desk. "Lady Bradshaw, I presume?"
She looked up into the most intense, glittering pair of blue
eyes she'd ever seen. His hair was pulled back in a long black ponytail, and he
leaned on a cane. They had to be kidding. A disabled cop? His navy blue shirt
and tie at least gave an appearance of professionalism. Although the gun
holster on his shoulder made her shiver.
